EMI Characteristics
The shield in STP cable results in good EMI characteristics for copper cable, comparable to the EMI characteristics of coaxial cable. This is one reason STP might be preferred to unshielded twisted-pair cable in some situations. As with all copper cables, STP is sensitive to interference and vulnerable to electronic eavesdropping.
